Order Quantity / Group Orders
We ask this big favor of people placing orders :
-Please gather and place a group order in conjunction with your friends and other stitcher as much as you can.
- It will reduce your shipping costs, but also helps us tremendously since this is a small private business. Our time first belongs to family and children, as well as stitching Temari. Group orders will help all of us.
- Shipping prices are set for smaller quantities, so if you gather orders with your friends or groups it helps to save my time for my children and for stitching temari as well as lowering your shipping costs.
Thank you very much for this consideration!
